Manage operation logs
Operation logs record the operations that all operators perform on the UIS Manager. A log records the login name, operator name, finish time, login IP address, operation type, operation description, operation result, and failure reason of an operation.
Restrictions and guidelines
Operation logs with login name $SYSTEM record the automatic tasks of the system. For example, after the system performs an automatic VM backup, the system generates an operation log with login name $SYSTEM and operator name $SYSTEM.
Operation logs with login name admin@VMC-RS were generated when third-party systems call the REST interface of the system.
A log cannot be deleted until its retention period expires. For more information about operation log retention period, see "Configure system parameters."
